More temperature resistance* for maintaining properties to higher temperatures

Most ABS, PET, and Polyesters get soft at 80C +/- 10C

HTPLA-CF maintains properties up to 120C or more (*when heat treated)

Higher strength and better strength-to-weight ratio for stronger parts with less material

Improved surface hardness for less wear in abrasive environments

Less shrinkage and distortion for more accurate parts

Higher stiffness so parts hold their shape

Renewable biopolymer with low odor

Highly desirable black finish

Compared to HTPLA, HTPLA-CF has:

Improved surface hardness for less wear in abrasive environments

Less shrinkage and distortion for more accurate parts

HTPLA-CF, like Aromatic Coffee, is based on High Perfomance HTPLA v2.0, so it prints easily and can be heat treated for higher temperature performance with a potential Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) in excess of 140C (285F) depending on processing. We had good results when heat treating in an oven at 110C (225F) for an hour. We recommend leaving the supports on your parts, placing them on a non-radiating surface (like glass, ceramic, or composite), and letting them cool in the oven to minimize distortion. Parts must be baked above 60C for any crystallization to occur.
